Quick installation composite slab system for pre-fabricated structures

Abstract

Steel deck composite slab system had been using over the years and especially in bridge engineering. This type of composite slab system also has been proved as the one of the most economic structural building system. However, this type of construction is time consuming. The concrete slab needs to be cast in-situ on the steel decking at site. As an Industrial Building System (IBS), light steel framing with lightweight composite slab with cold-formed section have overcome the problems faced by traditional concrete construction. Development of light steel framing with lightweight composite members will gives a tidier and cleaner site, time and cost saving, sustainable building system, durable high quality construction. This paper will review on the quick installation of different types of composite slab panel system and its potential application from previous researcher.
